O! say
can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so
proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose
broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous
fight,
O'er
the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly
streaming?
And the
rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave
proof through the night that our flag was still
there;
O! say
does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er
the land of the free and the home of the brave?
